Federal Pell Grant Program Annual Data Reports

Summary:

Every year the Department of Education produces an end of year report and an institutional distribution data set. The end-of-year reports include summary data by state, student category, institution type, income level, and other criteria. The institutional distribution goes back to 1999-2000 and is the best source to analyze nationwide patterns of Pell grant support as it affects different states and sectors.
